I spend quite a bit of time digging through Spotify for the good stuff.

The Goa Trance (psy trance, progressive trance) playlist and the Electrofunk (freestyle/electro) is, as far as I know, rather unique.
Handpicked stuff, only goodies. Updated several times a week. We’re living in the new golden age of Goa Trance ppl! (Ovnimoon, Filteria, Ra, Amithaba Buddha, Afgin.. the list goes on =)

What happened to April? :O

May is here and I rounded up some of the highlighted tunes in my playlist. Was hard to cut this one down to 10, making the numbering sort of arbitrary.

1. pole folder – mona kea (human adams remix)
Human Adams recently passed away, leaving behind a large number of impressive remixes and productions. Here’s one of Pole Folder. Rest in peace, and thanks for all the great music!

2. phonat – ghetto burning (mohito mix)
Had a hard time picking the remix (bought 3 of them off bp), but can’t go much wrong with this mohito mix =) bouncy and torn up in true phonat-style!

3. delon & dalcan – 248 km (feat oxia)
Blip-blop, a charmer on the tech-side!

4. jay lumen – calypso (original mix)
This is the producer I would want to radio feed me on a deserted island atm. Everything he touches turns to gold!

5. bob sinclair presents fireball – what i want (teo moss and fredeluxe remix)
Gotta love this vocal, and this remix is very progressive, enabling it squeeze into my chart just ahead of Warren Clarke’s überfunky-mix. Check out the entire EP tho =)

6. sultan & ned shepard – one day (miss nine mix)
This would have been way up in an April chart, had I ever made one.

7. chromeo – fancy footwork (russ chimes remix)
It’s summer isn’t it? Yes, yes it is. And here’s a track to go with the season!

8. simon and shaker – soultech (simon and shaker remix)
I’m having an increasingly hard time disguising my weakness for Simon and Shaker’s recipe for progressive buildups.

9. james harcourt – call & response (original mix)
No chart complete without some techno.

10. rhythm code – the borrower (dave robertson’s remix tech edit)
Topped off by a little more techno.

1. Sultan & Ned Shepard – Eye Spy (Original Mix)
This is one progressive killer. Drives me nuts. Melodic takeoff with an impressive flow. I’d pay money to hear this out somewhere :O
2. Digital Base – Don’t Get Tired (Original Mix)
Really ruff bass and attitude-driven all the way. And this great little hook. Yummi. This break makes you look good.
3. Marcus Schossow – Swedish Beatballs (Original Mix)
Also progressive, also with melodic takeoff. I see strobes!
4. Ozgur Can and AGS – Melodic Beat (Marcus Schossow Remix)
A very nice riff. Progressive. Maybe not a floor track, but sits really well between your ears anywhere else.
5. Sebastien Leger and Chris Lake – Ghost
Filtered, riffy, sounds like Pryda. Sweet theme and one happy bassline. Emotional. Two really great producers.
6. Jerome Sydenham and Tiger Stripes – Elevation (Radio Slaves One More Kiss Remix)
Bouncy and has a healthy buildup. Makes me look forward to the rest of the night, music-wise. Progressive.
7. Moby – Disco Lies (Eddie Thoneick Vocal Mix)
Eddie Thoneick has proven his ability to get a lot out of a good vocal. I really like this one.
8. Patrick L and Andrue Cavaco – Ringin (Dumb Dan Dub)
Dumb Dan is a great guy. Progressive for progressive-fans. Should have seen him in Oslo last summer :/
9. Lutzenkirchen – Paperboy (D-Nox and Beckers Remix)
Techy, and a bit minimal. Make me wanna dance! Mixes well with Bukaddor & Fishbeck – Mantikor
10. Thomas penton and John C – Sinners Kitchen (Original Mix)
Bassline is kind of happy-electro. This one made the chart for it’s takeoff.

Ere it is. Little more tech, little less prog! And a breaky 10th. Happy hunting and hearing.

1. Bukaddor & Fishbeck – Mantikor (Original Mix)
2. Robert Nickson – Narc (Simon & Shaker Remix)
3. Emjae – Can You Handle It (Audiojack Mix)
4. Cicada – Same Old Scene (Henrik B Remix)
5. Adam Freeland – Silverlake Pills (Gui Boratto Remix)
